Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Make-believe + melodrama = comedy as one dramatic little girl learns the new skill of finding a friend
Leah is looking for a friend to play fairies. But when her invitation fails to sway her classmates, Leah is left all...ALONE.
Poor Lonely Leah! Will she always be the only one standing alone in line? The only one reading fairy tales in the book corner? The AGONY of her SUFFERING is so overpowering that she almost misses the quiet voice trying to get her attention...
From the creators of Percy's Perfect Friend comes an entertaining new journey into social-emotional growth. Author Lana Button is an early childhood educator who has seen firsthand the struggles many kids experience learning to navigate social situations and conflict--especially if pandemic lockdowns were part of their early lives. In The Only Lonely Fairy , she tells a relatable story of someone trying to make friends and missing the mark, while Peggy Collins brings lively humor to the illustrations, letting readers know what Leah doesn't yet: that she isn't alone after all.
"Young Leah waxes dramatic when several classmates reject her invitation to play fairies with her. "Lonely Leah" is so busy declaiming her sorrows that she almost misses the quiet overtures of friendship being made by Lunda. The two finally connect and a joyful fairy frolic begins--but they are not too caught up in each other to notice a third lonely classmate, whom they welcome right in."-- Provided by publisher.
